About Me
Early Life
My early life was a search for spiritual truth and healing the trauma I experienced in childhood. By the time I got to college, I sought help and began what turned out to be a deep, life-long study of both psychology and spirituality. On the psyche side, I explored talk therapy, emotional release therapy, family systems, hypnosis, somatic trauma therapies as well as some less well known modalities. Spirituality led me through numerous Western and Eastern teachings, techniques and technologies, both contemporary and ancient. Thanks to my ongoing commitment to both inner and relational work and the support I have had through the years, I continue revealing myself as a community member, businessman, writer, husband, father and a friend.
Along The Way
Along the way I became a certified Hypnotherapist, received a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, became a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and collected numerous trainings and spiritual initiations and empowerments. For some time now I have been studying how our nervous system functions when we are at our best and the ways to restore balance and harmony when we have become more compromised. I continued studying the brain and nervous system underlying all our experience and all we express. I have also studied and learned a number of other technologies/protocols which assist clients to release their stuck patterns and restore balance and harmony to their lives.
At one point, I had the great blessing of meeting Lynn Marie Lumiere. We've been married for 30 years. She's the amazing woman on the rock beside me. (Our dog is not in the picture.)
Most Essentially
Most essentially, over the years, I became steeped in the non-dual practice traditions and recognized the shared, transformative process which our human species of consciousness is now experiencing as we are being called to awaken together or perish. This involves both a political and a spiritual awakening. All of these influences shape the ways I work with people. My deepest intention and my clearest vision is all of us incredibly grateful to have awakened to the inherent harmony and spontaneous benevolence of out true nature. As I am coming to know this truth in and through my body. I aspire to clearly express the One I Am and to offer support for your awakening into your fullness as well as share experiential skills and knowledge when helpful. Your awakening is my awakening because, in essence, we are one.
Awakening Together
We empower each other as we awaken together. As we awaken together, we help each other move beyond thc conditioned patterns from our shared, mistaken belief in separation. And, as we open into a more resonant, harmonious atuning to our inner experience of our Source, we each become unique expressions of our shared oneness.
